In this blog, we will look at the key tips for choosing the safety cabinets.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>1) Plan your laboratory storage<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take an inventory of the chemicals used or likely to be used in the future. This will help in identifying the storage required.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>2) Know the Storage Guidelines<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to varying requirements, not all chemicals are stored similarly. Factors like temperatures, ventilation, special handling procedures, etc. will decide the safety cabinets required.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>3) Classify the chemicals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have had a look at the chemicals used, then the next step is to classify them. There are many guidelines for classifications &#8211; according to the risk of potential hazards like flammability and corrosiveness. Some users classify the chemicals based on value \u2013 the most precious and costliest placed separately from others, and some include classification by the risk factor.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>4) Estimate the Quantity<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estimate the quantity in hand and how much you would require in the future.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>5) Labelling the Chemicals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Un-labelled chemicals expose to mix up, mishandling, and potential hazard. Safety cabinets with built-in labelling system ensure the chemicals are not mixed or shuffled.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>6) Safety Ratings<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety ratings and certifications are an extremely important criteria for choosing the safety cabinets. Check for design standards that are under NFPA 30 Chapter 9.5.3 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 regulations.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>7) Safety Features<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose prudently the cabinets which have safety mechanism built into them like self-closing doors, constructed out of high-grade steel, double walls, special seals, etc. The cabinets must perform dual function of protecting the chemicals from leaking from the cabinet, and they also must keep them safe inside in case of fire.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>8) Check the Capacity and Size<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each lab is different with a unique size. Not every safety cabinet would be the best fit for your lab. Therefore, you need to know the available space at your lab for the safety cabinets and check if the right-fit capacity is available or can be custom made by the manufacturer.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>9) Check the Variants<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the use and the storage materials, safety cabinets are colour coded for easy visual identification. Check if there are variants available for flammable, acidic, and combustible chemicals to store in various colour options.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text123\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #ca2527; font-size: 22px;\"><b>10)<\/b> <b>Don\u2019t compromise on the Quality<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, you need to consider the budget. Do not compromise of the quality of the cabinets, as they are an insurance for the safety of your laboratory. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kewaunee.in\/contact-us.php\">Check with the manufacturer<\/a> is cost-effective models and bulk deals are available.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1594037823219{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]In a laboratory, when the researchers are dealing with harmful chemicals, any exposure to the chemicals may cause injury or harm.
